Product details
Overview
1PMT5944C/TR7 from Microsemi is a 62 V, ±1% tolerance surface-mount Zener diode in the Powermite® package, rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation at TAB 1 = 60°C, with 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 6.0 mA test current and thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-tab - used for precision voltage regulation in space-constrained industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5944C/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5944C/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5944C/TR7 application, or 1PMT5944C/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±1%), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), reverse leakage (≤1 µA at 47.1 V), thermal resistance (30°C/W), and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with cathode designated by TAB 1, requiring no external biasing circuitry. Its full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab enable direct thermal conduction to PCB copper, supporting stable regulation under transient load conditions.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 47.1 V) and tight knee characteristics (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 1500 Ω), enabling reliable clamping and reference performance across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range without derating below 60°C tab temperature.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF62A (ON Semiconductor) | 62 V, ±5%, 1.0 W, SOD-123FL package, θJA = 190°C/W | Lower power rating and higher thermal resistance limit use to <1 W continuous clamping | Select when board space is critical but power stress is low; requires additional thermal relief for >500 mW operation |
| BZX84-C62 (Diodes Inc.) | 62 V, ±5%, 300 mW, SOT-23 package, θJA = 270°C/W | Not suitable for 3.0 W dissipation; intended for signal-level voltage referencing only | Use only for low-power biasing or logic-level clamping; not a functional replacement for 1PMT5944C/TR7's power-handling role |
Compared with SMF62A and BZX84-C62, the 1PMT5944C/TR7 delivers 3× higher power capability and 6× lower thermal resistance, making it uniquely suited for industrial and automotive applications demanding sustained 3.0 W regulation or clamping without external heatsinking.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5944C/TR7?
The "C" suffix in 1PMT5944C/TR7 denotes ±1% zener voltage tolerance at IZT = 6.0 mA and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. This tighter tolerance enables accurate overvoltage thresholds in safety-critical regulation circuits where standard ±5% parts would introduce unacceptable margin uncertainty. The 1PMT5944C/TR7 achieves this via laser-trimmed silicon and process-controlled doping.
How is thermal performance specified for 1PMT5944C/TR7?
1PMT5944C/TR7 specifies thermal resistance as 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1, measured with TAB 1 held at 60°C. This value reflects direct conduction through the full metallic bottom and locking tab into PCB copper. Unlike standard SMT diodes, its thermal path bypasses epoxy mold compound, enabling full 3.0 W dissipation without external heatsinks when mounted per Microsemi's recommended pad layout.
Does 1PMT5944C/TR7 require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes - 1PMT5944C/TR7 requires a minimum 10 mm² copper thermal pad connected to TAB 1 with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to an internal ground plane. The datasheet specifies mounting pad dimensions per DO-216 outline and warns against floating TAB 1, which de-rates power to <0.5 W. Proper layout ensures the rated 30°C/W thermal resistance and stable 62 V regulation under load.
What does the "TR7" suffix indicate in 1PMT5944C/TR7?
The "TR7" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, with 3,000 units per 7-inch reel. This format is optimized for high-speed pick-and-place assembly and ensures consistent orientation (cathode TAB 1 leading) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) compliance. TR7 reels are compatible with standard SMT feeders and support JIT manufacturing without manual handling.
Can 1PMT5944C/TR7 replace older through-hole Zener diodes like 1N5388B?
Yes - 1PMT5944C/TR7 is a direct functional replacement for 1N5388B (62 V, 5 W, DO-41) in applications where 3.0 W suffices and board space is constrained. While rated for 2 W less, its 30°C/W thermal resistance and metallic bottom deliver superior steady-state regulation stability. Layout change is required: DO-41 footprint must be replaced with Powermite® pad pattern, and TAB 1 must connect to thermal copper.
